RAILROAD MATTERS.

1t is considered certain that the Canas
tota, Watertown and st. Lawrence rail
road will be built. 1t is to be an extern
sion of the Canastota northern from Cam
den 70 WATERFOWL, Clayton, Alexandria
Bay, MOrristown and Ogdensburg, with a
branch from Watertown to Carthage and
Jayville. The capital stock of the com
pany is 81 ,250, 900, and the road Will be l3r
miles long Five directors have been
elected.
The Northern Adirondack Railroad com
pany has already contracted for 300 freight
ears, and expects to buy POO more before
spring opens, so as to be sure of having
facilities for the transportion of the
enormous cut of lumber which will be
made next summer in the territory
through which it runs. The St. Regis
River Lumber company John Hurd,
president-is getting out this winter a
stock of p, 900 600 feet; McFarlane, Ross
4 Stearns of about 100000 feet, and
Ducey Il Backus of 100000 feet.
Several leading lawyers of New Hamp-
shire are OF opinion that it is by no means
certain that the leases of the Boston, Con
cord and Montreal railroad and the North
ern Railroad company, to the Boston and
Lowell railroad, sought to be set aside i'm
a suit pending In Merrimack county, will
be held to have been legally made. The
case is under advisement of Chief Justice
Doe, who perhaps will astonish the suit
ors in an opinion on the question next
month.

LSpringiicld Republicnn.7

LNpIlngUclu RepuOIlCan.
The great sacrifice of human life in the
White river accident must lead to re-
form of the method of heating cars. That
is recognized on all hands. The railroad
commission OF this State give hearing
Thursday on both heating and lighting
cars. y resolution passed the Connects
cut House yesterday providing for an in
vestigation of the same subject The mat
ter must be pushed to immediate results.
The railroads will talk about expense but
the public are in no mood to hear such
talk the question is not of money, but of
human life. Experiments have already
gone lar enough to prove that the thing is
practicable, and delay is becoming Grim
ual.
Mr. Pullmans desire to maintain the
independence of his cars from the train of
which they may form a part is quite com
prehenslOle. He wants to have each car
so that it can be warm to receive passen-
gers as 1t stands il station, before the
train Is made up, but this can be obtained
in connection with the system of heating
from the locomotive by means of such a
device as Mr. Emerson has Invented for
his system now used on certain Connect
cut River railroad trains, shat is. by a
small furnace and boiler attached beneath
each car, and cut off and emptied of fire
when the tram Is connected.
steam heating from the locomotive is
hardly to be regarded any longer as an eX-
pertinent, 50 far as its practicablity is
concerned. The Emerson plan has been
in operation for five years ON the local
trains OF the Connecticut River road and
the testimony of the officials and the train
men Is that 1t works well. II would be
extended to all the trains of the ROAD if
the Vermont roads would cooperate with
1t. The train that leaves this city at 7:l5
Il. m. Tor Boston and returning arrives
here at $40 p. III. is heated by steam
from the locomotive with entire sue
cess. The process is one invented in
the West, and is in use on several short
Western roads The trains of the elevated
rallway system OF New York city, com
prlslng over 500 passenger cars and psf
locomotives, are entirely heated in that
way, and they are absolutely safe. Moth
ing whatever except the paltry question
OF expense stands in the way of the uni
versal introduction of some method of the
sort.
And the other question of lighting the
cars must have equal and immediate at
tentlon. The most dreadful of the train
burnlngs have occurred in the night, and
there is no more terribly efficient agency
for the spread of flames than the coal oil
from the broken car-lamps. The substi-
tuition of electricity for kerosene is also
only matter of expense. 1t is not only
practicable, but 1t Is in Use on short trains
III various parts of the country.

The following letter from Hon. William
p. Dillingham;, chairman of the State com
mttee selecting temperance text books for
public schools was written to a gentle
man in st, Adams, in reply to one adj
dressed him upon the subject:
W ATERBURY, Feb. ).
Dear Sir am in receipt of your note or
the 81, asking for the reason that actuatoS
ton to the use of Brands lessons on the
human Body" in our public schools.
can only reply by Stating that when the
board were in session IN Burlington, Mrs
Hunt and Mrs Perkins were both present
urging the selection of Pathfinder Nos |
and and Stcele's Hygeinic PhysiOl gy, and
claiming these three books alone were all
that was necessary for use in this State. The
board were of the opinion that No. awhile ricn
in temperance matter, was deficient as a Phy-
slOlogy, and that between 1t and StcelC's
book there was much unOCcuplc1 ground
that Brands book or some other of the me
character was needed to cover that ground,
etc.
The opinion was communicated to the la
dies, and the only objection made to Brands
book by either of them was thct it was
dry" "unntcrestlng" and "unteachable." |
have never met Mrs HOush, but her circular
leads me TO suppose that she believes this
book was selected for primary work. or thar
he book selected was Brands lessons for
Beginners'-Quite another book. In either
case she was labOring under mistake OF
facts. If she was aware what book was Sc
leCtcd and for what grades, as shown 10y our
circular "a copy of which | enclose her sug-
gestons. TO state it mildly, are unfair.
| have high OpinlOn OF lessons on the
most admirable, both in Arrangement and
amount, and am at loss to account for the
opposition you speak of.

The report of Df. j. II. Iinsley. health
officer of Burlington for the vear 1886 is -

gent person doubts the connection he.

facts given by DR.. Linsley only confirm
